Una observación más cercana la pubescencia de las hojas de la planta “Vaporub”, perteneciente al género Plectranthus . Un segmento de hoja fue cortado con navaja, colocado en el portaobjetos de papel con ayuda de cinta transparente y luego visualizado con el foldscope.
A closer observation of the pubescent leaves of the Vaporub plant, belonging to the Plectranthus genus. A segment of the leaf was cut with a pocket knife, placed in the paper slide with some clear tape and then visualized using the foldscope.

Una mirada más cercana de la pubescencia de las hojas en la planta vaporub. A closer look at the pubescent leaves on the vaporub plant. Nos dimos cuenta que un corte de hoja limpio y delgado daba mejores resultados que uno grueso y “mordisqueado”.
We noticed a cleaner and thinner cut of the leaf would yield better results than a thick and sloppy cut.

En esta imagen se observa los “pelitos” en la parte superior y la hoja misma en la parte inferior. In this image we can see the “hairs” in the top and the actual leaf in the bottom.

Zoom a todo lo que da para observar los “pelitos” individuales. Maxed-out zoom to make out the individual hairs on the leaf. Este post es un ejemplo utilizado durante los talleres “Exploradores del microcosmos” para que los alumnos y alumnas puedan ver cómo podrían reportar sus descubrimientos.
